KRISTIN LUKE // THE AIR INN VENICE

The Air Inn Venice is project space and artwork with a beach-side vacation as its overt, permanent backdrop. Multi-functional interior design and dispersal are used as materials to rethink divisions between producer, product, spectator, and participant. Exhibition space, domestic idyll, stage set, office, platform, business, curatorial frame, and leisure retreat become entangled and held up for scrutiny through guests’ interventions. With a nod to art’s pre-modern uses, the autonomous, privileged position of the spectator melts in the LA sunshine.
